The Government’s proposed online safety laws fail to adequately protect children from online pornography, a House of Lords committee has warned.
In a letter to Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden, the Lords Communications and Digital Committee expressed concerns over the current scope of the draft Online Safety Bill.
Published earlier this month, the Bill proposes a new duty of care for tech companies that host user-generated content, with large fines and having their platforms blocked as potential penalties for breaching rules on protecting users, with Ofcom overseeing as the regulator.
